Signs, decors and visual patterns from different cultures.
Author: Matteo Nunziati
East and West, a synthesis archieved through Italian taste.
With the “Tesori” collection, porcelain stoneware surfaces are at the service of design, allowing a semantic slip that leads to perceiving the ceramic covering as a material surface – even large dimensions – needed to support graphic and calligraphic styles, as well as significant "signic" visions. Through the patterns on the “Tesori” surfaces, Italian ceramics evoke an exotic and oriental image, suggesting the idea of an exploratory journey that takes on the form of a valuable and fascinating cultural exchange.
«My work often takes me to far-off lands, also remote in terms of their culture and traditions. Even without my being aware of it, I then metabolise these traditions and include them in the designs I subsequently produce.» Matteo Nunziati
